hlbitory to people of ordinary means.

the entire list than Saturdays prices.
THE BREADsTUFF SITUATION.
Statistically considered, wheat war
rants even more strength than the specu-
lstive cliques have been credited with
lending it. The leading domestic mar
kets have witnessed some activity, and
prices have gone up &c per bushel on
speculative manipulation.
The total visible wheat ("offcial'') is
about ~ ,000,0 200 bushels, but it may be
diminished this week by 800, 900 to o.
600, 900 bushels. There is less invisible
wheat than usual, and Atlantic coast
states must draw largely from the north
western states for twelve weeks (to Au-
gust l, uext) if, as is likely, there is to be
late winter wheat harvest. This would
mean month extra consumption to come
out OF present reserves, over 20, 000,0 900
bushels. 1t must not be forgotten that
option trading at several cities cannot be
INDUCED in successfully without a large
stock of "vi5ible" wheat. Stocks of No.
2 red in store at New York aside from
what shippers have in hand, with freight
engaged) are not over 100000 bushels,
out of which, with some accretions from
fresh receipts, short sellers of May and
June wheat Will have to make deliveries.
Winter wheat is not promising, and
the government report is expected to
show decline in condition from April of
about 10 points. Exports of wheat and
-four together from July l, 1886 to May l,
1887, equal 100, 100000 bushels.

81, 1887, will require to purchase in and
ship from all foreign countries, in time
to arrive out by August 81 1887 about So,
000,O0 bushels of wheat, including -four;
France will require, April Is to August
81, 1887, paris advices),a minimum of
22,000,0 900, perhaps 100000 bushels;
Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland,
Italy, Greece, Spain and Portugal, will
have also to supplement their own wheat
